Control of integral manifolds loosing their attractivity in time (Q819683)

The work is devoted to the investigation of the integral manifolds of nonautonomous slow-fast systems, which change their attractivity in time. More precisely the system under consideration is of the form: \[ \frac{dy}{dt}=\varepsilon Y(t,y,z,\varepsilon),\quad\frac{dz}{dt}=B(t)z+Z(t,y,z,u,\varepsilon)+u, \] where \(B(t)=\left(\begin{matrix} t&-1\\1&t\end{matrix}\right)\) and \(\epsilon\) is a small parameter and \(Y\) and \(Z\) are smooth functions which satisfy some suitable assumptions. Under the considered assumptions it is proved that there exists an \(\varepsilon^{\ast}\) such that for all \(0\leq\varepsilon\leq\varepsilon^{\ast}\) there is a control function \(u\) ensuring that the considered system has an integral manifold \(z=h(t,y,\epsilon)\). Some illustrative examples are provided to illustrate the methodology developed in the paper.
